So delicious and refreshing this morning.I’m running on two hours of sleep. Yeah, i’m crazy. Had to work @ 7:00 a.m. at the gym after new years eve. not fun. at least everyone working out is friendly and cheerful.

I plan on going to Bodyattack today. It’s an intense cardio class with some intense push-ups, abs, and lunges included. my all time favorite group exercise class. my heart-rate blasts up to 180 and i usually burn over 500 calories in this class. much needed after a few days of not working out. whoops.

I can’t wait to sleep later. wish i didn’t have to work at java tomorrow morning, but oh well.
